Why aren't they releasing this movie for Halloween?

Who the hell wants to see "Dark Shadows" in June?

A June theatrical release date means a probable late September/October DVD release so they could be banking on the whole summer movie crowd plus Halloween DVD sales.

They probably aren't releasing this in October because Tim Burton has the Disney-backed Frankenweenie coming out then.

Ugh I guess there was a reason they delayed the trailer, etc. It looks to be awful--as some blogger pointed out ALL of the jokes in the trailer are references to Barnabas havign trouble adjusting to 1960s technology. It's like Austin Powers with vampires. So disappointing as a fan of the show and a fan of much of the cast.

There is no trailer. This is early March and the film was slated to open in May. A film of this size having only 2 months to promote it is unheard of these days. Hollywood wants you to know about a movie a good 6 months or more before the film is released. I'm sure the producers and filmmakers know this by now so just come out an announce it is being pushed back a year or 6 months. There is simply no way this film can come out by May. Pushed until August or September? Possibly but my guess is this is a summer or Christmas movie. Next May Johnny Depp will have THE LONE RANGER out in theaters so waiting until next spring sounds like a long shot to me.

There is a trailer out there--but it's only been shown to test audiences (which seems weird--test audiences for a trailer?). You can find a bad bootleg from the DShadows mailing list (yes, I'm a member lol).

Of course there is. I'm not saying it's going to, but it's a movie, not the Great Wall of China.

test screening review

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Booo. I hate to sound like "one of those fans", but WHY bother even licensing the property? Couldn't he have just done his own gothic 60s comedy? I mean any DS fan who doesn't admit that a big part of the appeal was the (intentional and non) camp, is IMHO a fibber, but... The main part of its appeal was that the focus was still on at least trying to do things seriously and scary--this isn't like remaking the Brady Bunch, or even the recent comic movie of Starsky and Hutch.

I loved one of the comments on that thread: "^big budget COMEDIC versions of Breaking Bad, Mad Men, the Sopranos, and The Walking Dead twenty to thirty years from now "

If there's any justice in the world, The Sopranos will be adapted as an opera.

"Could be Burton's next MARS ATTACKS" … could be more then likely typical Burton crapfest though. No longer a fan at all.

I thought Sweeney Todd was ok--I admit it was better than I expected from Burton at this stage in his career, but that largely excepted, I used to be a big fan (i even found Mars Attack fun), but the usual Burton/Depp thing has become really dull--if not annoying to me. Sigh. Oh well at least this has caused them to release a box set of all the episodes for $500 dollars (yes it's nuts, but I can actually justify that unlike the individual sets)( and for Warner Bros to finally release the two great films from the early 70s this Fall.

BTW there's a trailer for the trailer (which seems to be the new thing) doing the rounds. I won't bother linking--but yeah the trailer premiers on Ellen, Thursday.

I love Mars Attacks! When I saw it, a new 21-screen theatre just opened in my neighborhood and on opening day, all movies were 21 cents all day. I thought the film was hilarious. I think the only Burton film I truly enjoyed since Mar Attacks was Corpse Bride. I am looking forward to the animated Frankenweenie, but nothing about this Dark Shadows interests me in the least.

I find Corpse Bride a big let down--to me it sorta confirmed that the brilliance of Nightmare was due to Henry Selick (it drives me crazy how many people still think Burton directed it, but...). I did overall like Big Fish, and I enjoyed Sleepy Hollow despite myself, but it really seems in hindsight to have set the template for so many of his movies that followed.

See, I don't like Nightmare at all. I watched it many times trying to figure out what everyone was raving about, but other than it's gorgeous designs, I was bored by everything else. As for Burton directing, it's an easy mistake. The title on all the promotional materials reads "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas".

Oh it definitely was marketed as his film--I believe he even did the major press promo. And I get that--it's like how everyone is marketing Cabing in the Woods as Joss Whedon's.

They just showed the trailer on Ellen. I'm more interested in seeing it now than I was when I saw the pictures.

Here is the trailer. I think it looks like it might be a lot of fun. I HATED ALICE IN WONDERLAND and that film made tons of money.

This Burtonized version will probably do really well.

There is historical precedence for this. One of the Dark Shadows tie-in paperbacks was called "Barnabas Collins in a Funny Vein."
